"Rachel Maddow is wasting her first class education, her good looks and her Rhodes Scholar resume by trying to become the queen of snark on TV."

Can someone as woefully confused and wrong about nearly everything as Maddow, really be said to have recieved a "first class education"? I don't think hanging out in the hate studies and herstory sections of elite colleges for four years really counts as a first class education.

If I am not mistaken, Susan had some serious cash and Maddow was a poor grad student. If Maddow wasn't gay before then, she was after the opportunity to move into a nice house and have financial security in return for laying down presented itself.

"Oppo research on Rachel Maddow's lesbian partner. Wow, who has that kind of time."\

Some of us have these things called long term memories. That means when we hear something casually on TV or repeated by someone else or read it, we remember the fact. Then, it comes back to us later when the subject comes up again. We can even do this without doing research. It just happens. I know it must be a mysterious process for someone like you. But, it really does work that way.

The openly gay ladies like Rachel that I meet lately all have had a strong tendency to seek legal rules and angles to control life of those aroud them. Is this an insecurity, or is it stress related from the fear of rejection? Anyway, their need to be the loudest voice in the room has to be adjusted to by the group that has accepted them. I find Rachel to be very bright and a great communicator, and style wise no worse than Hannity.

If Maddow wasn't gay before thenWhat? I'm always amazed when someone even humorously speculates like this. How is it even remotely not obvious that Rachel Maddow is a lesbian? Yes, yes, sure, sure, lots of gay women don't "look" gay, but come on. Lots do. And she does. (I love it! I've passed many happy hours playing "spot the dyke" in public places.)
